Fregate Island Private - Seychelles

Imagine the perfect private island, and chances are it will look something like Fregate Island Private. Long sandy beaches – check; clear blue waters – check; lush vegetation teeming with wildlife – check. Situated in the Seychelles, its history spans European traders, romance, privacy and piracy…

You’re more likely to bump into one of the indigenous tortoises than a displaced pirate, and the treasure to be found isn’t gold plunder, but a huge variety of flora and fauna.

The resort is dedicated to conserving the island’s natural beauty and has a resident ecologist on-site who can accompany guests on guided nature walks so they can learn more about the ecosystem – and even adopt a baby tortoise in order to safeguard its care for the first few years of its life.
